Stand Completed ?

Posted By on March 26, 2010

It took a year but I do think I have my keyboard stand, tier, sheet music holder with light and a boom mike stand  all figured out.   My new drummer throne seat is on back order so I’ll save that for another post.    The stand is a OnStage  Platform stand  with the add on On-Stage Stands Deluxe 2nd Tier.   Both items were purchased at SweetWater Pro Music.     The light fixture I got at the  local Andersons hardware store.  That fixture has a base with holes that make mounting it a snap.    I fastened the top of an old sheet music stand on one set of the tier arms.   I don’t know if I will but I may place my DR-880 on the tier arms in the future.   I’m also interested in that new Roland VP-7 voice effect box but I got to think on that for a while.    The Roland PK-5A bass pedal unit needs a lot of room and that’s why you need a platform table like stand with legs that angle out a bit.

 The mike stand is an On-Stage Stand MS9701TB and I love how it adjusts.   I had planned on mounting the mike on a goose-neck via an attachment that went right on the tier bar.   However that didn’t work.    When you get playing hard there is a thump when you hit bottom on the keys and that sound vibration gets transferred to the stand and to the goose-neck arm and to the mike.   So a mike arm not attached to the keyboard stand is the only way to go.
